Samson is Sleeping (Human's Post)

Okay, this is the "human-editor" -- hi!
Wish I had my camera right now! Man!
Okay, I wish you could see this, but Sam's asleep on my beanbag chair right now, and seriously, I think he's dreaming about eating steak or something. He started smacking his lips, like, twenty times repeatedly IN HIS SLEEP!!!!! Absolutely SO funny, wish I could have captured that on video.... Uh-oh! He's waking up!! Gotta go! Bye!

Showers

I love my human-editor very much. When she takes a shower, I follow her into the bathroom and just lay around. Even though she leaves the door open so I can leave if I'm scared by the sound of the fan or rushing shower water, (silly human - I'm not scared!) I stay in there the WHOLE TIME! How's that for love? She's so nice - she worries about me. She keeps peeking her head out of the shower to see if I'm okay or if I'm still there, but I'm always on the bath mat, looking up at her. Aren't I nice? :)

...In totally unrelated news, my human wants me to ask you a question (which I regret to say, is about dogs). My human is in love with a breed of dogs called Pembroke Welsh Corgis. Why not just stay with cats, I ask her. But she loves those dogs. I know - she's crazy! Anyways, she saw some at the petstore today (*shudders* horrible place!) and fell in love all over again! She got to pet and hold three tri-color pups not even a month old! (She smiles and I grimace >:P) She was very happy. She has been studying them for years, and knows ALL about the breed. She was wondering if any of you knew anything about corgis, or if you had any and had some advice for her, because she wants to get one. >:( Bleck! Her (well, the other humans') problem is the shedding. Any advice there? She thanks you heartily. She wants to get a corgi pup so she can create her own blog and blog about him (heaven knows why!) so she can get off my blog and stop talking about STUPID DOGS! What's the theme here? Cats! Not dogs!

CoLoR!

I'm feeling like the world needs a little more color...
Step into my magic portal with me and enter the world of senses!
Here, even cats can see all colors, and dogs can, as well!

Are you ready? Here we go...!

Green, creative, beauty, energy, nature, wild and free and dancing, romance...

Orange is fiery, spinning, singing, talent, friends and family, animals....

Blue.... Calming, wisdom, friendship, love and peace and truth, new ideas...

Red, flirty, brave and bold, true through tough times, always there, stubborn but loving...

Yellow, sunny, happy, joyful, flowers, innocent, unique, kind and friendly...

Purple, rich and royal, sweet and sour, drama-queen and silly-head....

Grey, Black, White, serious, truthful, dependable, helpful...

So, my wonderful world of colors is ending...

I must not let it fade away...

But there it goes, passing through the day...

Colors there to remind us of truth and love...

Creation and beauty...

But again I will see it another day...

But now black and white...

Is all I see.

Enjoy your colorful trip?

Award for Competitive Napping!

Unfortunatley, I did not win an official medal. :( But I'm not surprised. You should see the other competetors! But I did win this awesome thingy! Thank's Huffle!

Submit Photos for Contest!

Okay, here's how it's going to work; most of you have blogs, so those of you who want to participate in the contest, just post your favorite one picture of one (or a few) of your animal companions (or, as I have stated before, you if you so happen to be one) and leave a comment here to tell me. The others who don't have blogs my human-editor knows personally so they can send her pictures by email. Sound good? Good! Once everyone is in, we will get started!
(Also, if you do not wish to participate, or cannot for some reason, just please tell me. Thank you.)

Random Cat Fact #1

Cats do not see all the colors you humans do. The world around us we see in different shades of grey, black and white. What colors can we see? Shades of blue, purple, and green! As you can see, my blog is green, and I can see it, too! ;D Also, I sleep in a green chair, and green bean-bag chairs. The couch downstairs is green, and all the walls in my human-editor's room are green! It's like the whole house is cat-oriented or something!

"The Adventures of Super-Sam" Part Four

The cars zoomed past my face, nearly blowing me away and leaving the dirty, dank smell of automobiles hovering around me. Every time a car passed us, Gabby flapped her wings back in panic. Scaredy-crow.
...As for the cars - millions and millions of 'em. We were gonna hafta hitchhike on one of them. Hitching a ride was not easy, I knew. That's when a devious plan formed in my mind; I would need Gabby's help for this one. "Gabby," I proclaimed, turning to her and smiling, "I'm going to need a little favor, please."
Gabby eyed me. "What is it?"
She leaned close and I whispered to her my perfect plan.
"No! Absolutely not!"
"But why not? You'll be fine! It's not like you'll be hit or anything..."
Grumbling to her self a manner of things which should not be said, she slowly climbed the tiny hill. Then, with a flap of her wings she flew into the air and towards a big blue car. She zoomed quickly, beak-first, into the windowshield. The driver screeched to a halt and Gabby hit the asphalt, feighning death. The startled woman threw open the car door and rushed over to her. She was shaking and trembling unimaginably, as she cautiously made her way towards the crow.
I, of course, with my quick thinking, seized the moment and dashed through the open car door and into the backseat, gratefully uninhabited by children. Unfortunately, there was no Emma there, but that was to be expected. Still, one could be hopeful...
Gabby, though from my angle I could not see her, had already flown away, startling the woman even more, and was to follow us until we reached our destination - or at least as close as we were going to get. Then the rest of my plan would unfold.
The woman stumbled back into the car, shakily again, and brushed her blond hair back from her face. She started taking deep breaths. By now, from the back seat, I could see that other cars were swerving around her. It took her a few moments before she began driving again. I smiled triumphantly and sat in my sentry position; I was on my way to Teek's home. I might as well enjoy the ride.

Happy Belated Love Your Pet Day!

Today, let's celebrate love your pet day (since obviously I missed it yesterday...)! Be extra kind to your animal companion - whether that may be a walk, an extra scratch behind the ear, or a delicious treat! Yum!

Welcome to my Pad....

Oops! Wrong one! Oh well, show you my house later. But this one is cuter! ;D

Cat-O-Lympics: Napping Event

And now, our competitor from Sam-Wow-World! Wow, oh wow, oh wow! The crowd here is going wild. He may not be the favorite, but word is, he's the youngest (or one of the youngest) competitor here, at only two years.

And look at that form!

He likes to take multiple positions such as (above) the basic curl. And (below) the head-presser! Ooh, what a tough competitor!

And then... The close-up! Look at that happy sleeper! I think Sammy just might have won a silver! Who knows? Maybe even a gold!

But he's playing it safe... I don't know about this. We'll just have to see what our judges say.

15 Members!!!!

FINALLY!!

We have fifteen members!!! That means we can finally start our contest! Okay, here's the way it's going to work; everyone, get out your best picture of your animal companion (or you, if you happen to be one like me), and get it ready. I am going to find a way to use that mister linky thingy or something so that you can give the pictures to me. (Does anyone know the best way to do this?) Then, I will put you all in a number from one to (you guessed it!) fifteen, and then I will use a number randomizer (or a hat - whichever is easier) to choose randomly one of you to convert into an illustrated design! This'll be great! Comments on how I could best do this would be great! Thanks!

Let the Cat-O-Lympics Begin!

Hello dear sports fans out there!

As for me? I think that I will try out the Competitive Napping Competition, Bare-paw Fighting, Late-Night Human Wake-up, and the Hiding Event. But there are so many more events! You can even host your own! That's right - you can even host your own competition! Come on! Sign up!

And my friend Crikey will be tough competition in the StrongCat Competition on the 16th. Wait - 16th? That's tomorrow! Crikey, we gotta get training!

Alright, my feline friends, I must go now. But before we head off to the training building, I must say one last thing; "Let the Games Begin!!"
